TEACHEES' COLUMN.
EDITED BT J. T. WILDER.
Our Common School System.
For want of space we cannot give
the full test of our address before the
Rafting Creek School. The following
is but a portion of it in a greatly,,
abridged form :
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Students
of the Hafting Creek School :
It affords me no little pleasure to
.be with you on this occasion, aud
have the honor, at the instance and
solicitation of your worthy teacher,
to give you a talk. ? trust that what
I say to night may in some way reach
the minds of some of the common
school teachers, and have the effect
lo cheer, encourage and infuse a
spirit of devotion, on their part, to
their profession.
As the representative of the educa?
tional interests of Sumter County, my
theme should be mosVnaturally and
mainly the school system. As a pre?
face I will premise the following :
The public school system in South
Carolina is in disrepute with many ;
there are those who decry it ; and
the very idea of it excites derision on
the part of others. Assuming these
propositions to be undeniable, we
will move onward hoping to disabuse
the minds, and remove, measurably
at least, the prejudices of those who
may hear me to-night. The faults
complained of and the whirlwinds of
tirades hurled against the public
school system are not in toto of the
system itself, but may be ascribed, in
the greater measure, to the ineffi?
ciency of its supervision and admin?
istration, and in a less degree to deep
seated prejudices which are the out?
growth of the same. I conceive and
am bold enough to assert that the
croakers, malcontents and enemies of
the common school system, are those
whose intellectual vision is circum?
scribed within a narrow compass, or
who, through ignorance, or in the ab?
sence, perhaps, of other means, have
failed to look beyond the little terri?
tory in which they move and have
their being, in order to ascertain the
true status of cur system ; and hence
they assay to pass sentence of con?
demnation inadvisedly upon a system
of education which has been grand in
achievements and noble in results.
A careful study of the history of
the common school system of the
United States, ? in comparison with
those of Austria, Prussia, Switzerland,
France and England, is as interesting
as is the study of the "Civil Policy of
America," the development of the
natural and material resources cf our
soil, or the intellectual development
of the people. With all and each
this grand system has been and is in?
dissolubly connected and is a neces
sary concomitant to their develop?
ment. Nay, more, it h?s inspired
the nation with a renewed zeal for
the majesty of the Christian religion
and for the sanctity of its morals. As
early as 1?87 in an ordinance passed
by the Continental Congress for gov?
ernment for the territory north of the
j Ohio -River, there was incorporated
j the following clause: "That religion,
morality and knowledge being nec?
essary to good government and the
happiness of mankind, schools and
the means of education should be for?
ever encouragedSince that time
popular education has been promul?
gated and propagated to the. West,
and latterly, since the abolition of
slavery, to the South. And now
public instruction is the most im?
portant part of the work of every
State in the Union, and is recognized
as a national necessity.
This system of ours is peculiarly
an American institution. It was
based on experiences of incalculable
value. Our fore-fathers established
this system, not upon the grounds of
philanthropy, but upon the broad
principles of Christianity and patriot?
ism. They early saw the wisdom of
severing the Church from the State
in order to preserve the purity of
religion, and they also appreciated
the wisdom of establishing a univer?
sal system of common schools that
would ultimately permeate silently
and effectively the actions of society.
They borrowed, it is true, in building
up this grand American system, but
what wisdom they displayed in re?
jecting the objectionable features !
Nothing in all this broad land of ours
has contributed more to the material
! prosperity and happiness of the peo
! pie than the diffusion of universal ed
? ucation.
I There is no spot so remote but the
j influence of the common schools is
! felt. All over this land thousands of
J noble men and women are laboring
zealously in the cause of common
school education. Shall we say* then
: that it is a farce ? I fear that those
j who speak deixgatively of public
j school instruction, seldom have re
i course to reason or reflection, and too
j often give utterance to sentiments on
; the impulse of the moment, or are not
j imbued with the proper principles of !
j patriotism I fear their souls are i
j poor, puny things, and have not the j
I weight of a grain of mustard seed of j
? charity in them:
j Wc have out to go over a few j
; years of the history of Hie schools of !
j South Carolina in order to appreciate |
j the wonderful progress intelligence i
j has made. In many remote and be- j
! nighted nooks arni corners of our own j
I County, as well as in others, rays of j
j intellectual i'^ht have penetrated. !
j chiefiy through the instrumentality of j
j public school instruction, and those j
i places aro, many ol' them, now ?Ila- j
j minaied l>y tho ii^'ht of intelligence, j
; These communities have been lifted i
j from their low state of social life to j
; thc contemplation of nure bea ut v, ox- i
j cc!U*nee and truth a-.t inspired ni high >
and noble efforts. Ail this is donbt-j
less the legitimate fruit of the wot i< :?f:
the public school teacher, in i!;<> i ii ile i
rough Fog school house at the err.? s
I roads, or in some out-of-ihe way place
j It is a well established principle j
! founded in ll:*? nature of things that
j mental cult : excites a pen pie to ex
j ertion, and directs to a profitable end
the industry which it has excited I
We find in every county co rn mu ni- i
ties that have made very little prog?
ress ia securing the* conveniences and ;
comforts of life ; the advancement ol':
material prosperity from year to year :
is scarcely perceptible ; the old mode I
of agriculture without the adaptation {
of means to ends seems to satisfy !
their highest ambition ; they seem- j
ingly intend to preserve inviolate the i
traditionary rites of their ancestors. I
Hut eventually the common school j
? V
teacher is introduced ; he brings with j
him experience and knowledge of the
outside world, which he imparts to
his pupils. Soon, in the little com?
munity, once so benighted, there is a
revolution of thought and action ; a
flood of intellectual light has poured
in upon them from the outside world ;
their ideas are expanded ; their as?
pirations exalted and their desires ex?
cited to nobler deeds of action. All
over the county there is a manifest
improvement. School houses which
are now building are ou modern plans.
In many schools the attendance has
increased one hundred per cent.
Teacher's are thinking and acquainting
themselves with the best methods of
instruction, and dull routine is giving
way to intellectual activity.
1 will now consider briefly the em?
ployment of teachers. The Trustees
have the selection of all teachers in
the district, fix the salaries, and may
dismiss the teacher at an}7 time for
incompetency, cruelty, negligence or
immorality. For judging these faults
the Trustees are more ?capable than
the ^.parents, for they have a public
good to subserve and should repress
ali whims and caprices. Family, po
litical or Church influence should
never be permitted to swerve a Trus?
tee from the line of duty in the selec?
tion of teachers. The certificate is a
safe guide in the selection of a teach?
er ; and the grading of salaries in
proportion to the grade of certificate,
other things being equal, is a wise
and beneficial mle. The simple rule
of selecting those, with the beet certi?
ficates-moral character being right
-will soon' exclude the incompetent
and render the selection easy.
The Status of School Com?
missioners.
The following decision, by the At?
torney General, on the effect of the
propoeed Constitutional Amendment,
explains itself :
SUMTER, S. C., April 25. .
lion. Jas. II. Rice, Supt. of Educa?
tion, Columbia, S. C. :
DEAR SIR : I have the honor to ac?
knowledge the receipt of your com?
munication of the 8th inst., transmit?
ting for my consideration* a letter ad?
dressed to you by Mr. G. VV. Single?
ton, School Commissioner of Pickens
County. The question submitted to
you by him and upon which you have
requested my opinion, is as follows:
"If the constitutional amendment rel?
ative, to School C?mmissio?fers 6hotrld
be adopted, would the School Com?
missioner elected this fall serve out
his term, or would the appointments
be made then ?"
In answer, I have to say, if the
proposed amendment to the constitu?
tion, by striking out Section 2 of Ar?
ticle 10 thereof be adopted and rati?
fied, it will be competent for the Gen?
eral Assembly to abolish the office or
to provide that the same be filled by
appointment or in such other mode as
it may provide. But if the amend?
ment should be adopted and ratified
and there be no action by the Gen?
eral Assembly affecting the tenure of
the office, then and in such case the
persons who may be elected to the
office of School Commissioner of the
several Counties would hold their
offices for two years under existing
laws.
If the proposed amendment be
adopted and ratified, the persons to
be elected to said office at the ensu?
ing election could not hold their
offices against the will of the Legis?
lature. They could be "legislated
out of office.*'
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Jos. II. EARLE,
Attorney General. ?

Cloth Made of Glass.
M. Dubus Eormet, of Lille, France,
has invented a process of spinning and
weaving glass into cloth. The warp is
composed of silk, forming thc body of
the groundwork, cn which the pattern
in glass appears, as ejected by the weft.
The requisite flexibility of giars thread
for manufacturing purposes is to bo
ascribed to its extreme fineness, as not
less than fifty to sixty of the original
threads (spun by steam engine power)
ire required to form one tlircad cf the
weft.
The process is slow, for no mere than a
yard of cloth can be produced in twelve
hours. The work, however, is t xtremeiy
beautiful and comparatively cheap. A
French paper, commenting on this dis?
covery, says:
..When wc- figure to ourselves an apart?
ment decorated with cloth cf glass, and
resplendent with lights, we must be con?
vinced that it will equal in brilliancy all
that the imagination can conceive and
realize; in a word, the wonders of the
enchanted palaces mentioned in the Ara?
bian tales."-!New York Star.
